ZIGGY SILVER

The inheritance has conditions.

Stay one year. Endure whatever Caspian DeVeer decides that means. Watch the payments clear each month and keep my mouth shut.

Simple enough, when the alternative is a six-year-old dying in a hospital bed.

Caspian is cruel, controlled, and carrying scars I wasn't supposed to see. I'm strategic, patient, and running out of reasons to keep hating him as straightforwardly as I'd like.

Three hundred and sixty-five days. A fortune at the end. A brother who gets to live.

I just didn't account for what I'd want to stay for after.
